If technical details are that important, you wouldn't be gaming on consoles anyway and putting up with only 1080P/60fps or lower.
The PS4 is not guaranteed to have *all* it's games even run at 1080P anyway.

Just enjoy the games, they will look decentish regardless of which console you go for.

Man, you gotta be shitting me... THIS is what the gaming industry has come to?

Can anyone even imagine if the internet was around during the 16-bit days... DEAR LORD!

I almost beat the "Get a PC then"

Well not for me. Sad to know that people care about the teraflops in a videogame these days.

I don't understand the "just get a PC" argument. The article isn't saying that you need to get the most powerful system to play games on. It's saying that consumers have a right to know if there is a difference in the way one console is going to perform next to it's main competitor. Which is true. If there is a noticeable visual gap between two consoles that's an important thing to know.

if only rare was alive... they would have shown that the xboxone could have games that look better than ps4 games... but m$ killed rare a long time ago...

"If there is a noticeable visual gap between two consoles that's an important thing to know."

You must have just started gaming yesterday, because this has literally been the case with the home gaming industry since its inception some 40 years ago.

Edit:  And so far, this new generation of consoles represents the LEAST noticeable visual gap between two consoles (excluding the Wii U of course) since the days of Pong.

Then why do have people constantly saying it doesn't matter?

What? The visual gap between the consoles this gen is already bigger than it was last gen. and I've been gaming for 15 years thank you very much.

Eh kinda.

Watch Citizin Kane on VHS, and then watch it on Blu-ray. The increased visual fidility is important, but it's not going to change the quality of the movie.

Games don't perfectly compare, especially when the game uses graphics as a selling feature. In the TLOUs and the Marios, specs hardly matter. Just like with CK. In graphic whore games like Ryse and Killzone, yes specs matter a ton.

I kind of agree, to some extent.
Obviously some visual fidelity is going to increase the quality of the experience, but it does not change the core of the experience.

Its like watching a film on DVD, and then watching it on 4K,
the difference is noticible and you will say "oh, the 4K looks way better" but that is about it
The movie experience is not changed.
These are my feelings about the "graphics war" in gaming.


Additional: If you are a graphics fanatic, why not game on a PC?
1080p 60FPS is pretty standard nowadays.
